Opposing teams had to focus a lot on stopping star forward Kori Segich if they wanted to beat the Ocean City basketball team last winter. But if they didn’t pay enough attention to Dylan Schlatter, they’d find themselves with an ‘L’ on the scoresheet by night’s end.
With Schlatter directing the offense as the Red Raiders’ point guard, Ocean City put together one of its best seasons ever, going 26-4. Two of their losses came against rival Mainland, once in the Cape-Atlantic League semis and the second in the sectional championship game, a 3-OT thriller. Schlatter had 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 steals in that game, typical of how he rose to the occasion.
During his career, Schlatter racked up nearly 800 points, hit 76 threes and was one of the best free-throw shooters in the league.
